Ledurer to Explain Poetics
Eastman Literature Forms Topic of Talk by Dr. Christensen
“Vipers and venom!”
This is poetry—according to , Max Eastman, who believes that meter and metaphor “belong together” and are essential to poetry.

In discussing Eastman, Dr. Christensen pointed out that he was an associate professor of philosophy at Columbia university. Later abandoning teaching for literary and social reform work, and served as editor of The Masses and The Liberator, newspapers connected with the Socialist party.
AIDED WOMAN'S VOTE

In 1922 he went to Russia to study the system of government in that country. Later, he wrote two books—“Stalin’s Russia and The Crisis in Socialism-’ and “Marxism —Is It a Science?”
WORKS LISTED
Among his books on literature are "The Enjoyment of Poetry,” published in 1913, and “The Literary Mind,” which appeared in 1931.
His book on poetry associates literature with philosophy and psychology. It is used by Dr. Christensen as a textbook in descriptive narrative poetry. He has based his Wednesday talk on this treatise.

British Defy French Threat
LONDON, March 10—(IIP)—The French government’s threat to use its warships to break the British blockade tonight brought a defiant British reply and an allegation that Adolf Hitler is trying to provoke war between Britain and France for his own interests.
There was every indication that the warning of French Vice-Premier Admiral Francois Darlan would be rejected and that the British navy would continue its stringent blockade of Germany and the German-controlled territories.
It was asserted that if Britain could find a means of helping the people of unoccupied France without helping Germany, either directly or indirectly, such aid would be forthcoming, but so far no means has been found of doing this.
The British admiralty, it was understood, is reluctant to become engaged in battle with French warships but agrees that the British blockade must be maintained intact.
The ministry of economic warfare spokesman recalled that Britain allowed foodstuffs to reach Spain only recently and that the United States relief ships Cold Harbor and Exmouth have been permitted to carry foodstuffs to the children of France.
